WE DEDICATE THIS BOOK . . . TO . . . I. E. MCCOLLOUGH Mr. I. E. McCo11ouqh The McCollough Family- Marcia, Iudy, Mr. and Mrs. McCollough Six years ago the class of 1952 became a real part of the high school and high school life. Yes, We had finally made it-seventh graders at last. We weren't the only addition to the school that year. For at the same time came the man who was to be our friend and leader throughout our high school careers. lt is our sincere hope that with the dedication of this book to I. E. McCollough we can show in some small Way our appreciation of his constant efforts in our behalf. Mr. McCo1lough has always managed to find time for us no matter how frequent our complaints or fantastic our requests. Despite administrative de- tails, telephone calls, committees, recommendations, and necessary disciplin- ary problems his calm has remained unruffled. The last six years have held problems, good times, and never to be forgotten moments for our class. May we never forget these days nor the man who has helped make them one of the happiest phases of our lives.

AS YOU IMAY OR :md those who played in the band-it meant the last football game in which they might par- ticipate at Shelby High. That was an important game to those fellas and gals. The sixteenth marked the night of the football banquet. Have you ever noticed-it is usually just before a vacation that such things are planned? It prob- ably would take quite a while to digest all the over abundant victuals . Everyone was ready for the much-needed, well-earned Thanksgiving vacation-even the faculty, bless them! It was at this time that peoples all over the world, as well as here in our own small city and school, held high their hopes, and lifted their prayers for peace as the cease-fire talks began in Korea. We believed we might well have something to be truly thankful for. . ACT II SCENE I December first ushered in the Iunior Dance. On the fourth the seniors suffered through the O.S.U. Psychology Test and took it like veterans. However, it did not seem to weary them suffi- ciently to keep them home from the game that night, and we didn't even notice any case of acute indigestion in the cafeteria at noon. The aftemoon of the sixteenth the public was invited to hear the choir and the various other groups present their annual Christmas program. And so, at last, the big event of the year, the SNOWBALL sponsored by the Spanish Club. What a gala affair! All welcomed with open arms and light hearts the Christmas vacation which came early this year because of too much C?! snow. KINTERMISSIOND There's no rest for the wicked. This is the time for dances, games, sleds, skates, and all the regalia that's part of Christmas itself. No sleep-too much food-ah, our poor generat'on is dissipating. Woe is we! CON STAGE! SCENE II Ianuary seventh marshalled back again the flock-now full of XMAS goodies, New Year's resolutions, and with com- plete new wardrobes. Back into the harness! And about this time Mrs. Lafferty was giving the hubby new pills to quiet his driver nerves , these hundred mile trips by night's obscure dangers are nothing to scorn. How- ever, he's Cquoteb never lost a single victim yet tun- quotel. The twenty-sixth was dated as the night of the Thespian Carnival Dance but a possible flood changed plans a bit, in May. MAY NOT! LIKE IT and it was finally called off. Poor Miss K lor should we say Mrs. ! and her luck! Amid smothered screams and wary looks from the girls, and teasing glances and genuine interest from the boys, Larry Tetslaff presented his informing and most unusual collection of snakes. On February first a poor group of seniors congregated in 210 to labor over the General Senior Scholarship Test. We might add, also, that on the second the groundhog did see his shadow. On the sixth we received the sad news of the death of England's King George. We mourned along with Britain. Ah, Valentine Day once more, and the sixteenth the F.H.A. and the F .F.A. sponsored their Queen of Hearts Dance. Once more We thanked the Father of our Country for a day of rest. March fifth brought us the Denison Players. And later the All-School Play. We welcomed visitors for Career Day, and we thank them and our own Mr. Wendland for all the aid they have given us now and in the past to help us in our choices for the future. lt will ever be appreciated. ACT III SCENE I April second-good and otherwise-we took the preliminary district state scholarship tests. Those top three in each subject at least get a nice ride to Wooster on May third. The League Choir Festival follows. And the poor eighth graders-we who know sympathize. April eighteenth was their big test day. SCENE II April seventh, and the Carrols bring to us our last assembly. This year the League Band Festival is right here at home. The big night- the seventeenth! Music soft, stars in her eyes, and billows of pale net-don't feel neglected, boys, this is her night, you know. What else? -TI-IE PROM! Finally, the climax: some glad, some sad, all solemn. The Baccalaureate Service and Com- mencement sadden the hearts and challenge the soul of each and every senior. SCENE III Finally, the last day of school arrives and the underclassmen jubilantly tear awayp the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to retum for a command performance next year- the seniors to be specta- tors. Carry on, kids. We're with you a hundred per- - - - Carole La Bonte thinks about graduation time Cent! CURTAIN!

Mrs. Yetzer and Mr. Markin serve as typical examples of our Shelby High faculty. We can look with pride upon this mainstay of our school system. We students have our personal favorites and of course we have our pet peeves but we wouldn't trade our teachers no matter what was offered in return.
